In less than a week we venture towards Colorado to meet grandchildren. A trip George and I are really looking forward to and, so we have been told, are the kids.
A bit of background. Eighteen years ago a 13 year old girl came to live with us. The baggage she brought was pretty immense for an adult let alone a scared and lonely girl. She stayed with us for 5 /12 years. We offered to adopt but her choice was no. That was okay. George and I stated she was our daughter. My father had a new granddaughter and children we had by natural means had a sister. Even though she slipped from our everyday life for a while, Mary was never out of our hearts. A couple years ago she came back. Alot had happened in the time she was gone. 4 children, many experiences both good and bad. But she is back in our lives.
And now we get to meet her children. Our grandchildren.
The emotions going through me are overwhelming. Sometimes to the point I want to just weep.
Imagine.
We love them and have yet to see them.
